Coach Talk

#22SAVAGE
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A whopping 23 completions on 28 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 82% for Josh Allen this past week. The Saints secondary didn't stand a chance!.
ReEL'm iN
With only three receptions on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for ReEL'm iN should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
